[Building Sakai] Need help setting a tool title in 2.6

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Seth,

Is there a chance this is related somehow to tool/page localisation work? The same thing happens when trying to set the title of the Home page using a web service call so it sounds like it is further down the stack.

cheers,
s
